Bildnis des Malers Julius Hamel als Schüler des Städelschen Institutes im Profil nach rechts c. 1852

This charcoal drawing, created in 1852 by Philipp Winterwerb, depicts Julius Hamel, a student at the Städel Institute, in profile. The portrait showcases Hamel's youthful features, including his wavy hair and contemplative expression. Winterwerb's masterful use of charcoal creates subtle gradations of light and shadow, highlighting the sitter's form and texture of his clothing. The drawing, currently housed in the Städel Museum, provides a glimpse into the life and training of a young aspiring artist in mid-19th-century Germany.
